A hint of Springtime is felt in the air With signs of its appearing seen everywhere The grass looking greener upon the lawn Birds with their songs we hear at break of dawn Green leaves are sprouting on each of the trees Beautiful flower buds we're beginning to see Soon roses of yellows pinks and reds Azaleas on their bushes petunias in their beds The fragrance of gardenias will soon be all around And beautiful wisterias almost hanging to the ground Soon the Easter clothes with colorful hats of Spring Children hunting decorated eggs as they gleefully sing For a hint of Springtime is felt in the air With signs of its appearing seen everywhere ~*~ [This message has been edited by garysgirl (03-14-2003 11:54 AM).] |

This is a delight, gg... it's time for winter to slither on out and let the renewal take place. *S* Even if spring only lasts about a week around here... it'll be hot soon! *S* Then there's the wheezing, The coughing, the sneezing The boxes of kleenex always close at hand But beauty bursts everywhere Hope hushes woe and care Hearts feel a joy as spring takes the land. |

Hi Ethel...we have had a few false springs here in Southern California, and no real winter. Still, I look forward to the beauty of it...as your poem describes. |

Yes! Isn't it wonderful! Lovely poem, but you left out my runny nose and eyes. And the knee-high mustard weeds. Sigh. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Spring can't get here soon enough. We've had such a long, dark and cold winter. Huggles, Marti Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts. A.Einstein |

ah yes spring is beautiful. This morning just after five AM or so I went for a walk, since I was up anyway. It was pouring rain, but the birds were out and chirping and woodpeckers pecking and frogs everywhere! A bunny even crossed the road ahead of me!So beautiful! Always, Alyssa - And so it was that time stood still - |

Noah, We've had warm temps, too...may be the reason for the afternoon thunderstorms. I'll be glad when those are gone, because I unplug my computer when the lightning is so bad. I hate having to do that, too. I like Easter egg hunts, too. Our Church has them every year for the kids and some of us "kids at heart" join in. Chris, I'm glad that your snow is finally melting. Yeah, I really love your web pages and am going to go back there real often. Dixie, I'm glad that you thought it was nice. How are you doing? Marti, Oh, I know that Massachusetts has had a terrible winter. My daughter has been telling me about how cold it's been, too. I hope it's almost over for ya'll. Eric, thank you for thinking it's beautiful. That's sweet I really appreciate all of your sweet comments. Ya'll are so nice. Heart hugs to all, Ethel [This message has been edited by garysgirl (03-15-2003 11:19 AM).] |

Virginia, you probably will never know just how much I appreciate your saying those things about a poem I've written. As I've said before, most of the time, I feel very inadequate at writing. Thank you very, very much. Pat, Oh yeah, I know about the thunderstorms. We've had them here every day for about a week and are expected to have them at least the first part of next week. The sun has been shining really pretty in the mornings, then the thunderstorms, with lightning and hail on some days. I'll be glad when those stop. I always unplug my computer when the lightning is so bad. I don't like to have to do that...... Sue, I think tulips are so pretty, but I've never tried to grow any. Have you started a tulip bed where you're living now, or will they grow there? Maybe so. Gemma, I'm glad it made you full of excitement and happiness....and much love to you, too, sweet Gemma.... I really do thank all of you and appreciate each of you very much. Heart hugs to you all, Ethel [This message has been edited by garysgirl (03-15-2003 11:48 AM).] |

Paul, thank you, Sir. Yeah, the flowers do put on a beautiful show for us, don't they? Alyssa, I know.....we've been having lots of rain and thunderstorms in the afternoons, though sunny in the mornings. But, birds even like to sing in the rain, don't they? And, aren't the little bunny rabbits cute? Connel, I'm glad that you thought it was a great write. Thank you for the hand-clapping, too. Hope, thank you for thinking it was a beautiful description. I appreciate that. And, isn't it amazing how the times of year are so different in different parts of the world? The seasons in different parts of the world would be an interesting subject to study, wouldn't it? Thank you all for reading and replying to my poem. I appreciate each of you. Heart Hugs to you all, Ethel [This message has been edited by garysgirl (03-15-2003 12:05 PM).] |
